Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/4 c Graham cracker crumbs
5 T Butter, unsalted; melted
1/2 c Sour cream; plus 2 T
2 1/2 T Sugar, confectioners
2 T Whipping cream
1/2 c Peanut butter, creamy;
plus -2 T
(*NOT* chunky or old-fashioned style!)
1/2 c Whipping cream
4 oz Semi-sweet chocolate; chopped

Mix graham cracker crumbs and butter in a small bowl. Press crumb
mixture on the bottom and up the sides of 24 mini-muffin tins (each
about 1 3/4 inches in diameter). Place in freezer for 20 minutes.

Whisk sour cream, powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons whipping cream in
a bowl to blend. Add peanut butter and whisk until smooth. Spoon 1
tablespoon of peanut butter mixture into each graham cracker crust;
freeze 3 hours.

Bring 1/2 cup cream to simmer in a heavy saucepan. Reduce heat to
low. Add chocolate; stir until melted. Cool completely, stirring
occasionally.

Spoon 2 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture over each peanut-butter
pie. Place in freezer until set. (can be prepared 1 week ahead.
Keep frozen.)

Using the tip of small sharp knife as an aid, gently pry pies from
tins. Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
